Pretty please can i have these, with a cherry on top? Topshop Lillie Sandals

I squealed with delight when I set eyes on Topshop’s Lillie Sandals. For me, they are the Cherry on the cake, quite literally.

                  

     

                                  

Available in two colour ways, they hark back to Tom Fords Yves Saint Laurent 2003 offering which just goes to show that even eight years on, his designs continue to be an inspiration. When said YSL shoes were released I craved them like a fat kid craves cake but unlike Anna Dello Russo who managed to bag a pair in every colour way, I was not so fortunate.

                     

Bringing me back to Topshop, the Lillie sandals with their diamante cherry and plush velvet make for the perfect party shoe. The red and gold pair, I fear scream Christmas and are tottering on the fence of chic or eek!

The black and green pair, a more modest version of the iconic shoe, are a little more me. The Lucite heel adds a touch of modernism and cool to the otherwise whimsical style.
